Whispers

Whisper
Just a whisper
Only a whisper
Through the silence
Cuts through the silence
Silence that has never been broken.

A Voice
That whispers
Only whispers
But such a whisper
That kills the absence of sound
With joy.

Darkness
Utter darkness
Complete darkness
That has never seen light
And does not know
That light even exists
Because it doesn't.

But that whisper!
What does it whisper
That smallest of whispers
The merest of whispering
That very first breaking
Of the greatest Silences
Ever known?

One word
Only one word
Merely one word
It whispers a single
Solitary
Lonely
Vibrant
Word.

LIGHT!

Light!
In the Darkness
And Silence
And Emptiness
The Voice has whispered
A whisper is all that It needs.

Light!
And there is no more darkness
And the silence is shattered
And the Void is filled
By Light
And Joy
And Life
Because of that Voice
And that one whispered word.

Darkness
Is not unopposed
Silence
Is broken
Emptiness
Is filled.

Sorrow
May last for the night,
But the Voice
Brings the Joy
And the Morning.
